Foreword
This second edition European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the
Terminal Equipment (TE) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(ETSI).
This ETS specifies the technical characteristics required for end-to-end interworking over the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for 9 600 bit/s or 4 800 bit/s duplex modems standardized for
use over the PSTN.
These requirements are based upon, and do not conflict with, CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2].
Additionally, requirements are included relating to end-to-end interoperability over PSTN connections.
Such requirements are in excess of the CCITT/ITU-T Recommendations.
Except where otherwise indicated, a modem which complies with CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2]
should always meet the requirements of this ETS which relate to parameters specified in that
CCITT Recommendation.
Clause 4 of this ETS references the requirements common to both Category I and Category II modems,
which are contained in clause 4 of final draft prETS 300 114 [1]. The definitions for Category I and
Category II modems can be found in the foreword of final draft prETS 300 114 [1].
Clause 5 of this ETS contains Category II requirements specific to 9 600 bit/s or 4 800 bit/s duplex
modems. In the case of certain functions common to a number of different types of modem
(e.g. auto-answering sequence), reference is made to clause 5 of final draft prETS 300 114 [1], which
contains the relevant requirements.

1 Scope
This ETS specifies the technical characteristics required for end-to-end interworking over the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) of 9 600 bit/s or 4 800 bit/s modems standardized for use
over the PSTN, in accordance with CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2].
The objective of this specification, the application of which is entirely voluntary, is to provide the users with
an added degree of assurance that modems in compliance with this specification can interwork with each
other, under most network conditions.
The term "modem" in the context of this ETS includes all physical implementation practices for a voice
band modem, which is conductively connected to the PSTN.
This ETS specifies six modes of operation, each with up to five modes of use (see subclause 5.2).
This ETS also contains descriptions of the tests to be performed in order to confirm compliance with the
functional requirements contained herein. A general description of the test conditions and test
requirements is given in annex A (normative).
2 Normative references

normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications
apply to this ETS only when incorporated in it by amendments or revision. For undated references the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the definitions in final draft prETS 300 114 [1] apply, together with the
following:
NOTE: In addition to the following definitions, some other specific definitions are applicable
(see subclauses 5.8.1 and 5.11.1 of this ETS).
Modem Conformance Tester (MCT): A simulator designed to meet the requirements of a modem to the
same recommendation as the modem under test. All individual sub-systems within it are both accessible
(e.g. provide test points and permit functions to be enabled or disabled when required) and externally
controllable (e.g. permit sequences such as the start up procedure to be selectively repeated). These,
within a conformance tester, may be constructed as discrete items of equipment, so as to permit their
assembly into varying configurations required to suit the tests (e.g. the asynchronous to synchronous
converter may be simply applied to a synchronous CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2] conformance tester
to achieve an asynchronous CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2] conformance tester).
As an interim measure, until the conformance tester is defined and such a tester is available, its definition
as agreed to be appropriate by ETSI is that a modem used for reference may be used in its place. In the
case that the modem used for reference has not been shown to conform to the ETS in the relevant modes
of use/operation, the testing authority ensures that the modem used for reference complies with the
relevant ETS to the extent necessary for the performance of the test.
silence: Periods during the handshaking sequences where signals are not transmitted.
period of silence: Measured using start and finish criteria defined below. The levels refer to signals
which, in the relevant frequency band, have an inband power level and are expressed with respect to the
normal transmitted signal level of the modem under test recorded at the point of observation.
start of the period of silence: The instant at which the transmitted signal level drops below a level that is
6 dB below the normal transmit level. The period of silence ends the instant the transmitted signal rises
above a level that is 6 dB below the normal transmit level. During the period of silence at least one instant
is observed where the signal level is at least 30 dB below the normal transmit level.

ETS 300 002: May 1996
4.2 Information to be provided by the applicant
4.2.1 Information required for testing purposes
The applicant shall declare which of the modes of operation/use identified in this ETS the modem is
supposed to undergo tests.
Compliance is considered to have been accomplished by provision of the relevant information.
NOTE: This could be accomplished by completion of forms such as those provided in annex B
(informative).
4.2.2 Instructions for use
Instructions for use shall be made available with the apparatus. The instructions for use shall include:
a) the apparatus or types of apparatus to which the instructions apply;
b) any information specifically indicated in this ETS for inclusion in the "Instructions for use"; and
c) any national restrictions on the use of the apparatus.
Any additional information that has been included shall be disregarded unless it is the subject of another
ETS.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
5 Functional requirements specific to Category II modems
5.1 General requirements
To comply with the requirements of this ETS, it shall be necessary that the modem provide:
- duplex mode of operation by means of the modulation scheme specified in
CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2];
- channel separation by echo cancellation techniques;
- quadrature amplitude modulation;
- signalling rates of 4 800 bit/s and/or 9 600 bit/s;
- use of the rate sequence during call establishment to decide the data rate and method of coding;
- means by which the channels may be selected either manually and/or automatically, where a
modem is capable of transmitting in either of the two channels;
- means to respond to a request for a retrain;
- means to respond to a request for an instigation of a digital loop 2.
NOTE 1: The general requirements described above are a subset of
CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2]. In the requirements which follow any deviations
from the strict interpretation of CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2] have been identified.
NOTE 2: In the following, references are made to interchange circuits between the modem and
the DTE, as defined in CCITT Recommendation V.24. However, not all modems
provide an interface with such circuits. For these cases the references to
CCITT Recommendation V.24 type interchange circuits indicate equivalent operation
of a DTE and of a modem where this exists.

Page 12
ETS 300 002: May 1996
To further comply with this ETS, the interchange circuits (or equivalent) which are required to change state
after an identifiable event or point in time, shall have changed state within a maximum of 3 seconds of that
event, unless otherwise specified.
NOTE 3: This requirement is in addition to CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2].
5.2 Modes of operation/use
The following modes of operation are identified:
- 9 600 bit/s trellis coded, call;
- 9 600 bit/s trellis coded, answer;
- 9 600 bit/s non-redundant coding, call;
- 9 600 bit/s non-redundant coding, answer;
- 4 800 bit/s non-redundant coding, call;
- 4 800 bit/s non-redundant coding, answer.
It shall be possible to configure the modem to operate at either 4 800 bit/s or 9 600 bit/s, in either call
mode or answer mode or both. Optionally, the modem may operate at both 4 800 bit/s and 9 600 bit/s.
Where the modem operates at 9 600 bit/s using trellis coding then non-redundant coding at 9 600 bit/s
shall also be provided.
For each mode of operation to be tested for compliance, the modem shall provide at least one of the
following modes of use:
a) asynchronous with 8 bits per character;
b) asynchronous with 9 bits per character;
c) asynchronous with 10 bits per character;
d) asynchronous with 11 bits per character;
e) synchronous.
In the asynchronous (start-stop) modes of use, the modem shall accept a data stream from the DTE at a
nominal rate of 9 600 bit/s and/or 4 800 bit/s. The asynchronous data to be transmitted shall be converted
into a synchronous data stream in accordance with subclause 5.9 suitable for transmission.
Demodulated data shall be decoded in accordance with subclause 5.5, then descrambled in accordance
with subclause 5.6, it shall then be passed for reconversion into an asynchronous data stream in
accordance with subclause 5.9.
In the synchronous modes of use, the modem shall accept synchronous data from the DTE. The data
shall then be scrambled in accordance with subclause 5.6 and passed to the modulator for encoding in
accordance with subclause 5.5.
Demodulated data shall be decoded in accordance with subclause 5.5, then descrambled in accordance
with subclause 5.6.
The modem shall respond to a request to execute a retrain. Optionally, the modem may also provide
facilities to instigate a retrain during data transmission if the modem detects a loss of equalization.
NOTE: This facility can also be used to effect a change of rate from 9 600 bit/s to 4 800 bit/s
or vice versa, without disconnection from the PSTN.
It shall be the applicant's responsibility to specify for which of the above mentioned modes of
operation/use the modem is supposed to undergo tests.
5.3 Line signals
5.3.1 Transmitted carrier frequency
The carrier frequency transmitted shall be 1 800 Hz ± 1 Hz.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, clause A.2.

Page 13
ETS 300 002: May 1996
5.3.2 Receiver carrier tolerance
The receiver shall be able to operate correctly with a received carrier frequency in the range of 1 800 Hz
± 7 Hz.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, clause A.3.
5.3.3 Transmitted spectrum
The national network specific spectral power limits are specified in final draft prETS 300 114 [1], clause 4.
NOTE: Final draft prETS 300 114 [1], clause 4 in turn refers to ETS 300 001 [3].
There are no requirements in this ETS relating to the spectrum of signals presented to the PSTN over and
above those for PSTN access invoked by clause 4 of ETS 300 001 [3].
5.4 Line signalling rates
The signalling rates transmitted to line shall be 2 400 baud ± 0,01 %.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, clause A.4.
5.5 Encoding of data
The signal element coding shall be as defined in CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2], paragraph 2.4.1.1
(non-redundant coding for 9 600 bit/s operation) and/or paragraph 2.4.2 (4 800 bit/s operation).
Trellis coding, as defined in CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2], paragraph 2.4.1.2, may optionally be
provided.
The provision of non-redundant coding at 9 600 bit/s shall be mandatory if trellis coding at 9 600 bit/s has
been provided.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, clause A.5.
5.6 Scrambler and descrambler
A self-synchronizing scrambler and a self-synchronizing descrambler as specified in
CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2], paragraph 4, (Introduction) shall be provided in the transmitting part
and the receiving part, respectively, of the modem.
Compliance shall be checked by performing the test for encoding of data, described in annex A,
clause A.6.
5.7 Channel allocation
5.7.1 Channel selection
A modem which is capable of being configured as both a Call Mode Modem (CMM) and an
Answer Mode Modem (AMM) shall provide facilities for at least one of the following techniques of channel
selection:
a) manual selection of the channels using facilities provided on the modem;
b) selection of the channels by the DTE (equivalent: CcT 126 control);
c) automatic selection of the channels as described in subclause 5.7.2.
NOTE: Other means of channel selection may also be provided but verification of the correct
functioning of such facilities is not a requirement of this ETS.
For techniques a) and b), compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, clause A.7.

Page 14
ETS 300 002: May 1996
5.7.2 Automatic channel selection
A modem providing this facility shall, in the absence of manual intervention or a contrary command
e.g. via a digital interface (e.g. an equivalent to control using CcT 126), be automatically configured as:
a) a CMM when exchanging data on-line to another compatible modem, and when the modem has
entered the on-line state other than in response to an incoming PSTN call;
b) an AMM when exchanging data on-line to another compatible modem, and when the modem has
entered the on-line state in response to an incoming PSTN call.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, clause A.7.
5.8 Hand-shaking sequences
5.8.1 Definitions
In the following sequences the signals described shall be sent contiguously unless the description
indicates that a period of silence be present.
NOTE: The following definitions refer to the signal states A, B, C and D, which are defined in
CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2], figures 1 and 3.
T: T is the reciprocal of the transmitter baud rate. This is also known as the symbol interval.
AA: This signal is generated by transmitting signal state A with the differential encoder inhibited.
CC: This signal is generated by transmitting signal state C with the differential encoder inhibited.
AC: This signal is generated by alternately transmitting signal state A and signal state C with the
differential encoder inhibited.
CA: This signal is generated by alternately transmitting signal state C and signal state A with the
differential encoder inhibited for an even number of symbol intervals (i.e. 2 T, 4 T, etc.).
S: This signal is generated by alternately transmitting signal state A and signal state B with the differential
encoder inhibited.
S(bar): This signal is generated by alternately transmitting signal state C and signal state D with the
differential encoder inhibited for 16 T.
TRN: The scrambler is first set with all registers to "0". The TRN signal is derived by applying binary 1 to
the relevant scrambler with the differential encoder inhibited. The data stream is split into dibits. For the
first 256 T only the first bit of each dibit is considered and where this bit is a "1" signal state "C" is
transmitted and where it is a "0" signal state "A" is transmitted. After 256 T both bits are taken into
account. If both the bits are "0"s", signal state A is transmitted; if both the bits are "1"s", signal state C is
transmitted; if the first bit is a "0" and the second bit a "1", signal state B is transmitted; finally if the first bit
is a "1" and the second bit a "0", signal state D is transmitted. The final symbol of this sequence is used to
initialize the differential encoder.
E: This signal is a single 16 bit sequence. It is sent at 4 800 bit/s differentially encoded and scrambled
using the relevant scrambling sequence. The signal is encoded in the same format as a rate sequence but
it indicates a single rate at which the subsequent scrambled binary 1 is transmitted.
B1: The equivalent signal to Binary 1 being applied to the transmit data lead. The signal is transmitted at
the data rate indicated by signal E after being scrambled and differentially encoded and, where relevant,
passed through a convolutional encoder.

Page 15
ETS 300 002: May 1996
rate sequences: A series of 16 bits which are transmitted by one modem to provide the distant modem
with information about its capabilities. For the purpose of this ETS, in table 1 below the bits marked "1" or
"0" are fixed, whilst the bits marked "*" are able to assume a value of either "0" or "1". A modem shall not
assume that it has detected a valid rate signal until at least two consecutive rate sequences are found to
be identical. In the event that no compatible rate exists, the setting of all of the bits marked "*" to a "0"
(except bit 8 which may take any value), shall signal the intention of clearing down the call.
Table 1: Coding of rate sequences
B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 B11 B12 B13 B14 B15
000 0 * * * 1 * * * 1 * 00 1
For each bit a "1" indicates the availability of that rate or option and a "0" that the rate or option is not
available.
When bit 8 is a "0", bit 4 indicates the availability of 2 400 bit/s.
Bit 5 indicates the availability of 4 800 bit/s.
Bit 6 indicates the availability of 9 600 bit/s.
Bit 8 indicates the availability of trellis coding.
Bits 9, 10, 12, have been assigned functions in CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [4] ("A duplex modem
operating at data signalling rates of up to 14 400 bit/s for use on the general switched telephone network
and on leased point-to-point 2-wire telephone type circuits") and shall not be assigned a use contrary to
those listed below.
Use of Bits 9, 10 and 12 within CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [4]:
- Bit 9 indicates the availability of 7 200 bit/s;
- Bit 10 indicates the availability of 12 000 bit/s;
- Bit 12 indicates the availability of 14 400 bit/s.
Although bits 13 and 14 have not yet been assigned a use by ITU-T, modems to be tested for compliance
to Category II shall have set these bits to "0".
NOTE: Since the use of bits 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 is not specified in
CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2], the requirement relating to these bits are additional
to those of the CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2].
R1: This sequence is transmitted by the AMM at 4 800 bit/s scrambled using General Polynomial Answer
mode modem (GPA) and differentially encoded. The relevant bits marked "*" shall be set to a "1"
whenever the modem is currently capable of working at the rate or mode indicated.
R2: This sequence is transmitted by the CMM at 4 800 bit/s scrambled using General Polynomial Call
mode modem (GPC) and differentially encoded. This signal shall indicate which rates of those indicated
by rate signal R1 the CMM is able to support.
R3: This sequence is transmitted by the AMM at 4 800 bit/s scrambled using GPA and differentially
encoded. This signal shall indicate which of the rates indicated in rate signal R2 the modem has chosen to
work at.
5.8.2 Calling and answering procedures
5.8.2.1 Calling tone
This ETS does not require the provision of the calling tone defined in CCITT Recommendation V.25 [5].

Page 16
ETS 300 002: May 1996
5.8.2.2 Answer tone recognition
The modem shall comply with the requirements for answer tone detection given in final draft
prETS 300 114 [1], subclause 5.2.1.
In addition, the Modem Under Test (MUT) shall start the start-up procedure (sending AA signal) during the
answer tone or within 1 s after receiving the end of the answer tone.
NOTE: This requirement is in addition to CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2]. This requirement
is contained in this specification in order to guard against an AMM ceasing to send AC,
because the AA signal from the CMM was not received in time.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, subclause A.8.1.3.
5.8.2.3 Answer tone generation
The modem intended for answer mode operation shall incorporate the procedure for answering calls
based upon CCITT Recommendation V.25 [5] and given in subclause 5.2.2 of final draft
prETS 300 114 [1].
NOTE: The requirement always to send answertone is in addition to
CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2].
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, subclause A.8.1.3.
5.8.3 Start-up procedure
After the completion of any dialogue between the modem and the DTE for the purpose of establishing the
connection, the modem shall be indicating that:
a) it is not detecting a valid line signal (equivalent: CcT 109 OFF);
b) it is not ready to transmit data (equivalent: CcT 106 OFF).
NOTE: For a modem to indicate that it is ready to transmit data (equivalent: turning ON
CcT 106) it may be necessary for the DTE to indicate that it wishes to transmit data
(equivalent: turning ON CcT 105).
5.8.3.1 Call Mode Modem (CMM)
5.8.3.1.1 Initiation of the start-up procedure
After connection to line the modem shall condition itself to detect answer tone and subsequently to
transmit the AA signal. However, signal AA shall not be transmitted within the first second of the
application of answer tone to the modem line terminals.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, subclause A.8.2.1.1.
5.8.3.1.2 Round trip delay determination
The modem shall initiate the start-up sequence by transmitting signal AA. When presented with signal AC
the modem shall cause a timer to be initiated. The modem shall monitor the line for a phase reversal in
the incoming signal. Presentation of signal CA to the line terminals of the modem shall cause the modem
to cease transmitting signal AA and commence transmitting signal CC. The delay between presentation of
signal CA to the line terminals of the modem and signal CC appearing at the line terminals shall be
64 T ± 2 T.
The signal CC appearing at the line terminals shall cause a timer to be initiated. The modem shall again
monitor the line for a phase reversal in the incoming signal. Presentation of signal AC to the line terminals
of the modem shall cause the modem to note the time indicated by the timer and cease transmitting
signals. The time period recorded by this timer is the effective round trip delay for this modem hereinafter
referred to as NT (which includes the turn around delay in the remote modem).

ETS 300 002: May 1996
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, subclause A.8.2.1.2.
5.8.3.1.3 Rate negotiation
The modem shall monitor the incoming signals for signal S followed by a phase reversal. The receiver of
the modem shall now be conditioned to receive the TRN sequence, followed by rate signal R1.
When the modem has detected at least two consecutive identical rate sequences R1, the modem shall
transmit either:
a) signal S for a period of NT + 256 T; or,
b) signal S for a period of NT followed by a signal (special echo canceller training sequence) which
maintains the energy transmitted to line in such a way that the sum of the powers in the bands
500 Hz to 700 Hz, 1 700 Hz to 1 900 Hz and 2 900 Hz to 3 100 Hz is at least 1 dB less than the
sum of the power in the bands 700 Hz to 1 700 Hz and 1 900 Hz to 2 900 Hz. The duration of this
optional sequence shall not exceed 8 192 T. This shall be followed by a further period of signal S for
256 T.
After transmission of one of the two sequences above, the modem shall transmit signal S(bar), followed
by the TRN sequence for a period of not less than 1 280 T and not more than 8 192 T.
After completing the TRN sequence the modem shall immediately start transmitting rate signal R2,
indicating which of the rates included in rate signal R1 it is capable of supporting, and then shall indicate to
the DTE that it is ready to operate (equivalent: turning ON CcT 107).
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, subclause A.8.2.1.3.
5.8.3.1.4 Completion of the rate negotiation
On detection of at least two consecutive identical rate sequences R3, the modem shall cease transmitting
rate signal R2 after completing the current R2 sequence. The modem shall transmit a single sequence E
indicating its agreement to the parameters expressed in rate signal R3.
NOTE: Rate signal R3 may also indicate a cleardown, in which case the modem should
assume the off-line state.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, subclause A.8.2.1.4.
5.8.3.1.5 Completion of the hand-shake
After sending the E sequence, the modem shall start sending a continuous scrambled binary one signal
(B1). On detection of a received sequence E, the modem shall continue to transmit signal B1 for a further
128 T. The modem shall then:
- if the DTE is indicating that it wishes to transmit data (equivalent: CcT 105 is ON), indicate to the
DTE that the modem is ready to transmit data (equivalent: turning ON CcT 106);
- indicate to the DTE that the modem is receiving a valid line signal (equivalent: turning ON CcT 109);
and,
- enter the data transfer phase.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, subclause A.8.2.1.5.

5.8.3.2 Answer Mode Modem (AMM)
5.8.3.2.1 Initiation of the start-up procedure
On connection to line, the AMM shall provide the scrambler and de-scrambler defined in subclause 5.6.2.
On completing the answering tone generation as described in subclause 5.8.2.3, the AMM shall transmit
signal AC until an incoming tone of 1 800 Hz ± 7 Hz has been detected for at least 64 T and the signal AC
has been transmitted for at least 128 T.
The modem shall cease the AC signal and contiguously start the CA signal, within 10 s from the end of
the silent period following the transmission of the answer tone.
NOTE: The requirement of the previous paragraph is in addition to
CCITT Recommendation V.32 [2].
If no 1 800 Hz ± 7 Hz signal is detected after the transmission of AC signal, the modem shall not
disconnect from line for at least three seconds.
Compliance shall be checked by the method d
